Weather or not

Luke Stocking’s column “Climate change conversion ignored” mixes the perfectly legitimate goal of protecting our planet with the scientifically unproven assumption CO2 is destroying it. He does so by referring to COP 30, which stands for Conference of Parties, a large annual UN meeting to promote net zero globally. Net zero’s goal is to drastically reduce CO2 emissions because it is believed they are the primary driver of climate change. But is that true?Six hundred million years of temperature and CO2 concentration data reveal no direct link between them. When temperature was high, CO2 was low and vice versa. The whole raison d’être of COP falls apart with that data alone.
